Abstract

Background: This study aimed to compare surgical outcomes between Stratafix barbed sutures and conventional sutures in patients undergoing total mastectomy for breast cancer.

Methods: This retrospective study analyzed patients who underwent total mastectomy and/or axillary lymph node dissection at our hospital.

Results: A total of 29 patients were included. No significant differences were observed in clinicopathological features between the two groups. However, the percentage of suturing time within the total operative time was significantly lower in the Stratafix group compared to conventional group (10% vs. 8%). In addition, the suturing time per centimeter was also significantly shorter with Stratafix group (P < 0.001). No wound-related complications were observed in either group during at least 3 months of follow-up.

Conclusions: The use of barbed sutures for wound closure in mastectomy procedures effectively reduces suturing time without increasing the incidence of wound complications. Bidirectional Stratafix barbed sutures offer an improved and efficient alternative to conventional sutures for breast surgeons.

双向层合连续缝合与常规间断缝合在乳房切除术中的比较。

背景：本研究旨在比较Stratafix倒钩缝合线与传统缝合线在乳腺癌全乳切除术患者中的手术效果。方法：本回顾性研究分析了我院接受全乳切除术和/或腋窝淋巴结清扫术的患者。结果：共纳入29例患者。两组患者的临床病理特征无明显差异。然而，与常规组相比，Stratafix组缝合时间占总手术时间的百分比明显较低（10%对8%）。此外，Stratafix组每厘米缝合时间也显著缩短（P < 0.001）。在至少3个月的随访中，两组均未观察到伤口相关并发症。结论：在乳房切除术中使用倒钩缝线缝合伤口，可有效缩短缝合时间，且不增加伤口并发症的发生率。双向Stratafix倒刺缝合线为乳房外科医生提供了一种改进和有效的传统缝合线替代方法。

期刊介绍： World Journal of Oncology, bimonthly, publishes original contributions describing basic research and clinical investigation of cancer, on the cellular, molecular, prevention, diagnosis, therapy and prognosis aspects. The submissions can be basic research or clinical investigation oriented. This journal welcomes those submissions focused on the clinical trials of new treatment modalities for cancer, and those submissions focused on molecular or cellular research of the oncology pathogenesis. Case reports submitted for consideration of publication should explore either a novel genomic event/description or a new safety signal from an oncolytic agent. The areas of interested manuscripts are these disciplines: tumor immunology and immunotherapy; cancer molecular pharmacology and chemotherapy; drug sensitivity and resistance; cancer epidemiology; clinical trials; cancer pathology; radiobiology and radiation oncology; solid tumor oncology; hematological malignancies; surgical oncology; pediatric oncology; molecular oncology and cancer genes; gene therapy; cancer endocrinology; cancer metastasis; prevention and diagnosis of cancer; other cancer related subjects. The types of manuscripts accepted are original article, review, editorial, short communication, case report, letter to the editor, book review.
